Many fear recession, bank run, strike on Iran or terror attack couldsignal green light for state of emergency

The open announcement of a program on behalf of the federal governmentthat is recruiting clergy to aid the authorities in "quellingdissent," gun confiscation and forced relocation in the event ofmartial law has many worried that the current economic plunge could bethe precursor for a state of emergency in America.

A KSLA 12 news report out of Louisiana confirmed a story we originallybroke last year - that religious leaders are being enrolled into afederal program that trains them how to "quell dissent" and makepeople obey the government in the aftermath of a declaration ofmartial law following a mass casualty terror attack or a natural disaster.

A convergence of events logically leads to a conclusion that only themost naive observer would deny - that an upcoming crisis may be in thepipeline that will signal the green light for such provisions to beenacted.

World stock markets continued to plunge today despite billions inliquidity being pumped into the system by governments in Europe, Asiaand the U.S.

With a prolonged slump leading to fears of a recession on the horizon,many worry that a run on the banks could cause chaos on Americanstreets and give the government an excuse to enact sate of emergencyprocedures that Bush recently codified into law with his PresidentialDecision Directive of May 9th.

Others see the designation of Iran's military wing as a terroristorganization by the White House as an ominous indication that amilitary strike is being finalized, as five U.S. aircraft carrierscirculate the Persian Gulf.

An attack on Iran could also be preceded by a terror attack on U.S.soil which would lead to the suspension of the U.S. constitution andthe implementation of a military form of government, as General TommyFranks warned of in November 2003.
